Start Data acquisition and onboard program on Motion control with trigger

[pctara6]

I want, with a trigger switch on DAQ, start data acquisition on DAQ board and onboard program on Motion control board in the same time. I have tested some program on Labview but with not good result. I uses Labview 6.0, DAQ serie E and Motion Control card 7344.

pctara6,

This is definitely possible. I have attached a tutorial on passing triggers, and links to three example programs.


Integration with Motion Using RTSI Tutorial






6.0 LabVIEW
Analog Triggered Motion


6.0 LabVIEW
Motion Synchronization with DAQ via RTSI (encoder - external scan clock)





6.1 LAbVIEW
Using RTSI for High-Level Integration with DAQ, IMAQ, and Motion Control Devices

I tested two examples. The problem, and I don�t no why, it is that the High-Speed Capture Status is always False. The acquisition on DAQ is OK when the trigger go up but he don�t have a trigger signal on the motion control board.

Do you have the RTSI cable attached between the two cards?
